Here's another headband made with my free pattern, to which I've added a rounded flower applique that makes it even more cute I think!The Flower is made this way:

Ch 6, join to make ring with sl st.Round 1: ch3 (count as dc), 15 dc in ring,sl st to third ch of beg. ch3. (16 dc)Round 2: ch3 (count as dc), dc in same space as joining, *2dc in next dc*. Repeat from * around, sl st to third ch of beg. ch3. (32 dc)Round 3: *ch4, skip next 2 dc, sc in next dc*. Repeat from * around ending with sl st to previous joining st.Round 4: *7 dc in next ch4 space, sc in next sc*. Repeat from * around, ending with sl st to previous joining st.Here's in another colour:Hope you'll like it!

Hi, I am Italian as well (from Rome, but at the moment living in Ireland) and I like crochet as well (even if I am not as good as you are :)). I do not remember exactly how did I come across your blog (crochet me? etsy? ravelry?), but I wanted to tell you that you make wonderful things! compliments!!!

Thanks!Finally I write something in Italian..I'm so happy that a compatriot, and even a fellow citizen, appreciate my creations and come visit my blog!If you have any problems with my patterns, feel free to write me, I'll be very happy to help you!Many thanks again,greetings from Rome!Marta

I chanced upon your blog while looking for crochet patterns. You've got some pretty creative stuff out here! Just loved the berets! Thank you for your free patterns. Am just starting off to crochet, and i hope to try out your patterns soon.

Hi! I am wondering how the back of the headband comes together - do you tie it? I seme to have two bands and some other starnds than hang down... a pitcure and description would be really helpful. Thanks!JIll

Wow! You are super talented. I just dabble in crochet, I've been just learning to do some flowers to actually use on scrapbook pages and for greeting cards. But my searches led me here, and now I really want to try this head band!

okay so i am absolutely loving this pattern and thank you for that. but i must have screwed up somewhere becuase I ended up with Eleven final petals. o_0 yeah. weird right? i went back and counted but i can't seem to find where i goofed.

oh well. still turned out fantastic. just might have to tweek it to accomidate my mathematical oops. ;p

Thank you for the flower pattern. My sister-in-law has lost her hair due to chemo and wants a cute, feminine hat so I crochetted a hat and am adding the flower. I'm going to sew a pin to the flower so she can take it off and put on other things. It should really brighten her day. Thanks!!

hi..i want to make this so i can wear it for Christmas (tomorrow lol)but i am curios at how you attached it to the head band..(i cant wait to upload a vid so i can show you how your flower comes out for me)

Thanks so much for sharing this. I was so inspired that I came up with a version of my own. I wanted to give you credit on my blog but I couldn't find your name so I just included a link to your blog in my post with the picture of my headband. Hope that's all right!

Hi Marta! My name is Rosa and I'm from Mexico. I recently learned to crochet (I started one month ago!!) and I LOVE IT! Turns out, I've already tried some of your patterns and they have helped me a lot! Everyone who's seen me wear the headbands or berets have complimented them... :) So, thanks!

By the way... about the flower headband... how do you sew the flower so you can't see the chains under the flower? Is there a special tip to do it? or is it just the way the picture was taken?

Thank you so much for posting this and other darling creations! My friends and I from church have actually started a "Crochet Club" because of this pattern! I saw my friend at church wearing it and hAD to know how to make it! And now we get together weekly to learn a new pattern or craft. Thanks so much!!

wow! I found your creations on Ravelry! This looks adorable! Will try it someday, when I will figure out more complicated crochet, for now I just made my first doggy sweater haha))That web site is awesome!

Wow! This look adorable! I will try it someday when I'll figure out more complicated crochet, for now I just made a simple doggy sweater, my first crochet ;) I found yours on Ravelry, that web site is amazing! Thanks for sharing!Marina

Hello .. firstly I would like to send greetings to all readers. After this, I recognize the content so interesting about this article. For me personally I liked all the information. I would like to know of cases like this more often. In my personal experience I might mention a book called Generic Viagra in this book that I mentioned have very interesting topics, and also you have much to do with the main theme of this article.

veramente bellissima! I NEED to go back to Rome and am starting with Italian Lessons in USA. You make beautiful work, I'm so glad to connect to your crafty self. I hope to look stay at your hotel in future!

Hi! Thank You for this corgeus pattern, I've just finished it :)Is this right in the third round that you skip next 2 dc, I think it's 4, as on the pic. I've skipped 2, and it made teh flower kinda fluffy, it is still very sweet!Thanks! Zooombabe from Hungary.

Hi! I absolutely love this headband, it's adorable and I've made two since discovering your blog last night :-) However, I have a question for you: what size hook did you use for the bands in the phoots? I estimated and used an H hook to make mine, but mine appear to be larger than yours.

I love all your stuff! They are so beautiful and simple and especially hip with the teenagers. Thank you for sharing your patterns for beginner crocheters like me. Thank you Thank you Thank you.ICMajorStitchesby Ilene

I love this, just made me one and it turned out so pretty, hubby things its so big, but I don't care, its pretty and bold. I am not a expert crocheter and this was so simple to make, thank you soo much. Adding your blog to my favo list, Merry Christmas!!!

Thank you for another fantastic blog. Where else could I get this kind of information written in such an incite full way? I have a project that I am just now working on, and I have been looking for such information..

I found your blog while looking for crochet patterns. You've got some pretty creative stuff out here! Just loved the berets!Thank you for your free patterns. Am just starting off to crochet, and I hope to try out your patterns soon !

I love this headband and found your instructions very good for a new crocheter like myself. The only problem I'm having is with the flower. my yarn is a worsted weight and I have a hook 1 size smaller and a hook 1 size bigger than the suggested size. i have tried making the flower with each and both times I have the same problem. Your flower is so flat and dense, mine is very loopy and will not lay flat, it's very bubbly. I've tried adjusting my tension and no luck. Do you have an idea what I might be doing wrong??Thank you so much for your pattern and your time!!

HI, thank you so much for posting your creations for free. not only are they beautiful, they are so trendy! My daughter wants one of everything on your page :) I have created 3 headbands in no time at all, and have even made a bow and flower from your blog. my only questions is the method you use to sew them on. Are you using crochet yarn, or sewing thread? thanks for your help :) Melissa

Thank you for sharing this pattern. I made the headband for a photoshoot and was very pleased. I would like to make it again, but I've got several patterns piling up on my to-do list. So it will have to be an in the future venture.

Thank you so much! I made the headband yesterday. I actually made two. The first one, when I followed the instructions exactly I wound up with 11 petals. I see yours only had 8. I tried again skipping 3 DC's instead of 2 in round 3 and it turned out much better, with only 8 petals. Otherwise it's perfect and I love it!

Yes, I did the same thing following the pattern exactly and skipping 2 dc in the 3rd round. I ended up with 10 petals but noticed the one in the picture had 8. If you skip 3 dc then you end up with 8 petals. Also, did you use the same size hook as the headband?

Hi CreativeYarn! I am having some trouble with the flower pattern. I keep getting 10 petals instead of 8 like in the picture. I'm following the pattern! What do you think I'm doing wrong? Also, does anyone else have this problem?

Thank you for the free pattern for this. It is absolutely beautiful, and I hope the one I make looks this nice! I found you through ravelry by looking for flower patterns, and am now a follower of your blog. I see many things I will be making from it =)Thanks!!!Jen

I love doing this flower! The only problem is that once I'm finished, it doesn't lay flat. DO I need to change up my yarn or what do you think?Love the blog btw! You are helping me go from a beginner to whatever is above that lol Thanks!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful pattern! A few corrections though: Round 1, 2, & 3 don't need ch3 at the end since those are addressed at the beginning of the next round. And as some mentioned before, if you want your flower to lay flat and look like the one in your pic, Round 3 should skip the next 3 dc instead of 2 (so every 4th stitch should get the sc). Thanks again!

I really like this headband. It's soo cute!! I'm having trouble getting the flower right though. I don't quite understand the instructions. Can someone please explain them to me, beginning at Round 1 where it says sl st to third ch of beg. Thank you, I'd really appreciate it. I want to make one of these so bad but I just can't figure it out.

made this yesterday, wearing it today. thanks for the instructions, I sent the link to my granddaughter to see if she wants one too. If she lived closer I would teach her how to make it herself. thanks again

Thanks so much for the free pattern. Got it done in less than an hour. Used felting wool and am very curious how it will come out of the washing machine later :-))Just one little thing: in round 3 for the flower, does it not need to be: skip next 3 dc? otherwise you end up with more than 8 petals on your flower...

I just recently started to teach myself how to crochet. I made this last night and was so excited when it turned out like the picture lol. Thank you for sharing your adorable patterns. You have a very inspiring blog! I am learning a lot!

Thank You a ton for writing such a wonderful piece of information. Keep sharing such ideas in the future as well. This was actually what I was looking for, and I am glad to came here! Thanks for sharing the such information with us.

Clarification (from personal experience)Chain 140, then slip stitch 30, then chain 80 and again slip stitch 30, from the OTHER side of your band. So you are skipping 80 or so stitches in the middle and slip stitching the other side, which will be a tie in the end . Mine came out a little big in the middle for some reason, so I had to size it down (the side straps were fine though). After this point, I think the pattern is understandable as it is written in original.

i love this headband! i have had several people ask me if i would sell one to them, so i wanted to come here first and ask it it was okay to sell headbands based off this pattern? i would sell them on etsy and link back to your pattern for folks who wanted to make one themselves.

Thanks for your marvelous posting! I enjoyed reading it. I really feel as though I know so much more about this than I did before. Your blog really brought some things to light that I never would have thought about before reading it. Effects Of Smoking.

The post is written in very a good manner and it entails many useful information for me. I appreciated what you have done here. I am always searching for informative information like this. Thanks for sharing with us.Prank Calls

just found your site ..love...love ...love your creations ...sadden though i don't crochet but do knit...by any chance can you convert this wonderful hair band into a knit pattern...would like to make these up for some young girls for xmas...thank you again for your wonderful postings and keep them coming.....dorie

Maybe I haven't read all the comments here properly but i was curious about the actual head band part...how to fasten in the back of the head and what was the method of fastening the flower to the headband?

Finally I write something in Italian..I'm so happy that a compatriot, and even a fellow citizen, appreciate my creations and come visit my blog!If you have any problems with my patterns, feel free to write me, I'll be very happy to help you!Many thanks again,greetings from Rome!

Yep. That's it. I'm totally in love with your blog! So much awesome stuff! I'm gonna share a link to your blog on my crochet facebook page right now and tell all my friendz how totally awesome you are!!!!! (facebook.com/craftyghoulcrochet) I shared a picture/link to one of your necklaces the other day and they went nuts just like I did over the overwhelming cuteness! Thank you so much for sharing this stuff with us!

Hey, in round 3, is it supposed to say to repeat (ch 4, skip next 3 dc, sc in the next dc) around? It says to skip next 2 dc, and that gives me like...11 petal spots to be working in, in round 4, haha! I confused myself so hard just now, and I'm assuming I should have just recognized that automatically and corrected it in my head. It doesn't seem like anyone else had a hard time realizing it, if that's what it should say. Or do I totally have it wrong now? Seems to be working out. *sigh* Maybe I'll just nap...lolz!

This is gorgeous!!! I love it!! I live in Milan and have been taking lessons on how to crochet for a month! I have just made the flower! It's very easy to follow and it's so pretty! Thank you for sharing :-)

Hello, really love this flower I could not find a pattern on how to attach the headband to the flower so I got a bit creative but it works and super easy. Forts do not fasten off at the SS to the joining ST from there I chained 60 SS to opposite side of flower in between petals of the flower then I SS across the top of the next petal in either side of the joining ST then chain 25 ,now SC 10 to the other chain strap you already made(both chains together) now CH another 25 ST and attach to other side of flower (I crisscrossed the chain at this point to keep the headband even in the end)SS across top of petal just like other side FO (or leave a long tail and SS to back of flower to center pull the yarn through the center add any embellishments you choose whip stitch to flower FO) not sure how to add pictures or I would show. If you have questions I will help with this. Button413@gmail.com

I am so pleased I found this blog, I really got you by an accident, while I was searching for something else. The story and blog you have published is very interesting as well as informatics, Thanks for sharing such type of informatics thing.

This post, I do know that your sensible information in playing with all the pieces was terribly useful. I see that this is often the primary place wherever I realize problems I’ve been looking for. You have got an imaginative nevertheless attractive way.

I just found your crochet flower pattern and headband pattern on Ravelry. This is a beautiful flower! Mine turned out HUGE. Can you share what size crochet hook you used? Thanks for sharing your pretty patterns!

Love this pattern, so easy. I used H8 and Red Heart Supersaver worsted 4... my flower turned out HUGE, but beautiful. I will try a smaller needle. Has anyone figured out how to add the 3 chain ribbons w/o having to cut and tie each ribbon to the flower. Thanks.
